Question

read the sentence.
the fake, counterfeit money, which isnt valid, was discovered in the crime investigation.
what is the best way to revise this sentence to eliminate wordiness?
○ the money is not valid because it was counterfeit and discovered in the crime investigation.
○ the counterfeit money was discovered in the crime investigation.
○ discovered in the crime investigation, the counterfeit money was fake.
○ the sentence is correct as written.

Explanation:

The original sentence has redundant wording: "fake" and "counterfeit" are synonyms, and "which isn't valid" is already implied by "counterfeit". The best revision removes all redundant phrases while retaining the core meaning (counterfeit money was found in a crime investigation).

Answer:

The counterfeit money was discovered in the crime investigation.
